Give her an offer she probably should refuse

Ignoring her insult you grab your chair and place it in front of the desk while you sit down on the desk itself. Tilting your head to the side you smile up at Mariá, gesturing for her to take a seat. With a sigh she does as she's told and sits down, making her be slightly lower than you. She keeps chewing on her bubblegum as she sits back, crossing her arms as she waits to be chastised.

"So Mariá... what am I going to do with you?" You ask, shaking your head. "Your attendance is lacking, your class participation is low and your essays are mediocre at best. How much money haven't your mother spent to keep you here? How many hours has she toiled, trying to make sure her only daughter had a better future?"

"Fuck you care about that?" Mariá snaps, giving you a nasty look.

"I care about you Mariá. This is your chance to improve yourself and build a new life for yourself. You've got a tremendous opportunity here, and you shouldn't waste it like this." You explain.

"But what can I do when I've got a racist fucking gringo like you teaching me all this bullshit?" She spits out.

"I'm going to be frank. Girls in your position are valued out there in the world. Not so much for your brains, but for your other talents. As most latinas you've got a choice between conforming to the white man's world and play by his rules or to break your back cleaning homes. Do you want to be a cleaning lady like your mother Mariá?"

The young latina stares blankley at you, for once she's stopped chewing on her bubblegum. Looking down almost as if she's ashamed of herself Mariá fingers the golden cross around her neck.
